The King’s Transnational Law Summit 2018 evolved around the theme of The New Human Condition: Creating Justice for Our Future. The event brought together
nearly 400 participants from a variety of disciplines: legal scholars and practitioners, policy makers, city councils and unions, grass-root associations,
fiction writers and poets and activists.

This inaugural Summit placed justice at the centre of a wider inter-disciplinary conversation about democratic politics, inequality, health and the
environment in a volatile world.

The King’s Transnational Law Summit 2018 takes place at a crucial moment of deepening domestic, regional and global political change. Inspired by the
political philosopher Hannah Arendt’s book 'The Human Condition', which turns 60 this year, the conference evolved around the theme of The New
Human Condition: Creating Justice for Our Future.

The Summit features a challenging and thought-provoking agenda creating space for transnational conversations, networking and long-term collaborations
across different disciplines and professions. It is our hope to transform KTLS18 into a sustainable platform for an ongoing collaboration on some
of the most important challenges we face today.

KTLS18 is a border-crossing initiative by the The Dickson Poon School of Law at King’s College London,
one of the oldest law schools in London and recognised globally as one of the best law schools in the world. Led by Professor Peer Zumbansen, Director
of the Transnational Law Institute and Chair of the KTLS18 programme committee, the Summit
is a fine example of interdisciplinary research and collaborative outreach work from a team of experts across King’s College London and colleagues
from around the world.

The Summit will provide a lively platform for conversation and collaboration between theory and practice, reflection and policy making, community organisation
and art. We are delighted to open the door of a major academic institution to an international audience and facilitate this inclusive conversation
on the present crisis.
